metabolism

the products are
UDP-glucose and pyrophosphate. In bacteria, fungi, and plants, ATP, CTP, or GTP serves instead of UTP. In all cases the nucleoside diphosphate glucose (NDP-glucose) thus synthesized can donate glucose to the terminal glucose of a polysaccharide chain, thereby increasing the number (
n) of glucose molecules by one to
n + 1[79]. UDP is released in this process, which...
